Chapter 2: Judgement

(looks at gunner's seat and back at Jay)
@Jay
Really.............Fine (sighs)
(gets out of the driver's seat and hops onto the gunner's seat)

Inside Undisclosed Facility
Planet:Unknown

(I make my way through to first two levels.)
Damn it. Where is he? It's like a goddamn rat maze.

(I move on and activate my VISR's infared mode)
(I see a man shaped heat spot)

There you are. Two floors down and to the right.

(I make my way down and start hearing a voice)
Must be Torres, the poor bastard. You've been in Hell for too long

(I reach the second floor and take the right hallway)
Eine, meanie, mineie, mo (I stop at the second to last door and hear mumbling)

Bingo. Now lets see what happened to you

(I get out my pilfered access card)

=gets out= No response. Don't be dead, Jay. Please, do not be dead.

=heads to her last known position, shotgun raised. He passes by a reflection in his cockpit glass. The name "Jay" is carved into his collar, and his helmet has lines carved to look like tears=

=comm to Zeru= Understood. If you see any UNSC ships, let me know. Dormii, out.

=sees a Warthog in the distance. stops and hides behind a hill= Marines, maybe they know where she is.

=hacks in to comm units= Strange, only one has comms. I can fix that.

(looks around)
@Jay
Why did we stop
(gets out)

Marine: Hey Cole! Command wants to talk to you.
=Ash takes the comm=
This is Ash?
Command: Ashlie Cole its good to speak with you.. We have some info on Dormii.
What?! you found him what about the others?
Command: Calm down Cole we have a ''bounty hunter'' who has a lead but he wants your help.
Yes sir I would do anything! I will get there soon as.
Command: We have a bird inbound.

=disables "enemy" comm unit= (that would be Draco's) Now, where the hell are you guys going?

=I jump up from behind the hill, banshee scream in effect, shotgun raised= =Banshee distorted voice= THROW DOWN YOUR WEAPONS! I DON'T WISH TO HARM YOU!

(looks down)
@Jay
thats cool.

(Hears the Banshee scream)
JESUS! I know that scream

(yells)
@Dormii
Dormii, if you want me Angel Maker or Hydra you are going to have to take it away from me!

=yells back, lowering shotgun= Draco?! What the hell are you doing here?!

=I awake from a dazed unconsious feeling, familiar=
=The rest of my squad was pulling me out of the tunnel and they seem startled when I awoke=

Squadmate: We have a tracking device on that ship, they are sending a platoon of ODST's after it. Unfortunatly, it is ours.

Me: [Serious Grin] I don't want to die in peace time.

Squadmate: He is specifically heading for someone who was involved 7 months ago.

Me: Why does everyone keep saying that!?

@Dormii
Crash landed...........again. found Jay (looks around)
Oh crap
Dormii I think she went down here.

=shocked= What?! That was her?? Dammit, so close. Let's go.

=jumps into the trapdoor=

@Dormii
Okay

(thinks to himself)
At least he found her. When am I going to find Ash.
(He looks at his left wrist the word ASH carved into it)
(jumps down)

=I picked up my dirtied helmet as we walked past it=

=When I emerged out of the building, my eyes started to hurt because of the suns brightness.=

=When I returned from rubbing my eyes, a pelican was landing in a field next to the building. We got back to "The Victory" to refuel and rearm before going after this fugative=

(I open the door.)

Damn it. False lead

(I head to the shuttle)

(I see an update on the shuttle)

ONI update:

Disturbance at Forerunner site alpha

No personnel allowed, even ONI

end flash update

Ok, looks like a new lead. Time to head off this damn iceball

(I get in the shuttle and leave the planet surface)

Let's see here. (Read flash update) Ok, plug in coordinates, fire up drives

(Coordinates pop-up and okayed)

Jump

(Shuttle enters Slipspace)

=On the Obsidian Wolf, Delta begins preparing his soldiers and troops to set back out. He is questioning why the orders for Notanemil would have been given, especially now. As all the soldiers and crew are boarding the Azure Comet, X No Giga aproaches Delta=

[Giga] So where are we heading, Captian?

[Delta] Our First mission is to Multanimus.

[Giga] Well then, we best be off. See you onboard.

=Giga Boards the ship, Delta awaits the arrival of the last load of soldiers, supplies, and weapons before boarding the ship himself=

=comm to Zeru= Zeru, repeat. You're breaking up. You found what?

=Ash meets a small man covered in scars inside the pelican that picks her up=
Macgraw: We don't have much time if we want to get this sonofa B####.
=Ash straps in as the pelican takes off=
Did you find any of the others?
Macgraw: Nope not yet but I tell you I will! Your the one that called on them right? I think you and me are going to get on well..
=He laughs to him self as lights a cigar=

I just want to know where the others are I'm not interested in Dormii any more.

Macgraw: Heh given up all ready you Spartans are to soft, lose them for a day and you give up! Not like us! we know how to fight even without that stupid armour.

=comm to Zeru= Did you say a tracker?! Where?! I need to boost the signal.

=to Draco= Hey, can I use your armor to boost my comms?

=walks out of the cave and looks up at the clear sky= Looks like the storm has passed.

(looks at Dormii)
Hmm fine

=comm to Zeru= Which on--

=gets tackled= Oh, what the hell?!

=sees that it's Jay= Jay, hey, it's me.

=sees the motion= Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Jay! It's me, Dormii!

=quickly takes off helmet=

@Both
Well apparently Hostility works for the both of you
(smiles, and remembers his helmet had been off)
(He puts his helmet on)

=A trio of pelicans set off for their designated planet=

Squadmate: Man, that guy is risking our lives in peace time. I just need to pop him right between the eyes

Me: I wouldn't talk about him like that, karma is going to get you..

Squadmate: Yeah well, that is what he..

Squadleader: =interupting= Guys were coming into the atmosphere, get ready!

=We piled out of the pelican and secured the drop zone, and waited for further orders=

=comm to Zeru= Not now, man. I just found her.

=to Jay= Jay! Wait! =gives chase= JAY!

Staggers backwards in shock. I start to retreat down a corridor shaking my head. I run

WAIT UP!

=still running= JAY! JAY! =sprints faster=

=to Draco= Dammit! Did you see where she went?

=The pelican enters the atmosphere of a desert planet =
Macgraw: This is it! I got you this time.. Spartan get your weapon!
Pilot: This is it. reach waypoint in 5!
Sh## what am I going to do just kill him?!
Macgraw: Drop the back I want this ahole to feel my M99!

(Andrea's voice rings)
*I have managed to scan this tunnel. Right*
Thank you Andrea

I smile. "300 hundred dead, 200 wounded. Another successful operation."

I get up and shave, and all together try and look a little different.

I look out the window, the city scrambling to find us.

In shuttle Lost Hope
Location: Forerunner Outpost Alpha

(Ship comes out of Slipspace)

Ok, here I pick up the trail

(I take the shuttle into the atmosphere)
(Viewport fogs up)

Damn. how cold is it?

(Window clears up) Alright lets see where you went, Torres

(See left over thruster burn)
Ok, now I know you have to be here

Now, where to land this crate?

(Spot a vacant platform)

There we go. Lets set her down

(I set the Last Hope on the platform)

Strange. Someone built all this (curious) Lets go inside for a look see.

(I enter structure)

Lets see if VISR works down here (I turn it on and it works)

Alrighty then, lets find Torres.

(I head down a tunnel)

=to Draco= Does, Andi...no, Andrea. Does Andrea have anything to tell us?

=Through our comms we hear static and what sounds like a distress call from the pelicans=
=With the sound of a quick explosion and a white noise=
=Nearly the whole platoon looks up and realized a Covenant Carrier is just outside the planets atmosphere.=

Squadleader: Get to cover, now!!

=With everyone either in a deserted building or in a crater, the Platoon leader calling in for backup=

@Dormii
Go right
(He runs to the right and sees Jay)
